Welcome. I'm Connor Beaton, and this is the Man Talk show, Training for Men and Answers for Women.

Now, on today's show, we have another anonymous guest. And so just a reminder on these

anonymous clients or anonymous guests, I interview a person who has applied to work with me

that I have never connected with before. I've never worked with before. And the intention of these episodes is to walk people through meeting their own dysfunction,

walk people through meeting their own resistance or their reactivity, basically taking

people through shadow work and being able to help them unpack where they're

sabotaging in their life, where they are blocking themselves from love, where they're blocking

themselves from their purpose, where they are holding themselves back from creating what they

ultimately want in life and to guide them on the path of being able to claim their own self-leadership, their own power,

and their own compass, their own internal direction. So on today's show, I have a guest who has

been struggling with a few things. One, he's married in a relationship, and he's been in a

relationship for six years, married for three. They have started to talk about kids and he's been in a relationship for six years, married for three.

They have sort of talked about kids and he has some resistance or concerns around having

kids. So we talk about that. We also talk a little bit about his relationship with his wife

and some of the challenges that come up in conflict between the two of them.

And we look at this individual's relationship to his mom.

And we start to unpack and heal through some of the trauma, some of the wounding and pain

that he acquired in childhood that is showing up in his relationship today.

So this includes a little bit of family of origin work. It includes some shadow work,

some gestalt, a little bit of positive psychology, some cognitive behavioral therapy mixed

in there. It's really an amalgamation of a bunch of different therapeutic modalities.

So as you listen today, just notice for yourself where your story feels familiar to this client.
